Your Daily Palin TV Update

ABC has released its schedule for dishing out Charles Gibson's Alaskan Sarahstravaganza: excerpts of the interview will air tonight on World News and Nightline and tomorrow on Good Morning America, World News and 20/20. [In other campaign-TV news, I should also note that Richard Stengel—a.k.a. my boss—will moderate a forum on service with John McCain and Barack Obama, to be carried on cable news and PBS at 8 p.m. E.T.]
